These mysterious beings came to Earth over 400,000 years ago and
kick-started the (actual) human civilization.

But what are/were the Anunnaki?

Are they mere mythological
inventions from people thousands of years ago?

Or is it possible there is
evidence to support that they did, in fact, exist on Earth?

Interestingly, if we look back at the
countless discoveries that have been made in the last couple of
decades, we will understand that history as we know it is completely
different from the reality.

In fact, countless archaeological and historical discoveries have
been made that firmly contradict and challenged mainstream scholars
and their views on human origins and history.

Each and every time we 'touch' the subject of the Anunnaki, we come
across mixed feelings from different readers.

Many believe these ancient beings did exist on Earth, while others
are firmly convinced that the Anunnaki are nothing more that
mythological creatures and the result of ancient man's
imagination.

Anyone who wants to find out more about the Anunnaki should read the
books written by famous writer
Zecharia Sitchin.

In 1976, Sitchin published his personal translations of the Sumerian
texts in a series of books called "The
Earth Chronicles."

According to Sitchin, the clay tablets describe an alien race known
as the Anunnaki, who came to Earth to mine gold. Sitchin
practically suggests that extraterrestrial visited earth in the past
because their home-planet needed gold to survive.

But if the ancient Anunnaki did exist, wouldn't there be evidence of
their legacy on Earth? Well, an ancient city discovered in Africa
could prove to be the missing link to the Anunnaki.

Located around 150 km west of the port
of Maputo, researcher, and author Michael Tellingerhas found the remains of a vast
metropolis that measures, according to initial surveys a staggering
1,500 square kilometers.

This ancient metropolis is, according to many, part of an even
larger complex that encompasses an even greater area of 10,000
square kilometers, but the most fascinating detail about it is its
age:

It is believed to be between 160,000
and 200,000 years old.

"When Heine first introduced me
to the ancient stone ruins of southern Africa, he had no
idea of the incredible discoveries we would achieve in the
following years.

The photographs, artifacts and
evidence we accumulated, points towards a lost civilization
that has never before been and precedes all others - not for
a hundred years, or a few thousand years… but many thousands
of years" said Tellinger

Curiously, near these ancient
metropolises the presence of ancient gold mines indicates the
presence of an advanced civilization that was able to extract gold,
in 200,000 BC, for a mysterious purpose.

Tellinger explains that this is rather interesting since it shows
how a timeworn 'lost' civilization, prospered in the region while
being capable of extracting massive amounts of gold at several mines
in the region, all of this at a time when mainstream scholars are
telling us, humans were not developed in order to undertake such
'sophisticated' projects.

How was it extracted and is it
possible that the relative vicinity to the sea was the
reason why the giant metropolis was erected in the first
place?

Was gold used in trade and
sculptures?

Or is it possible - as the
Ancient Astronaut Theory proposes - that gold was used in a
far more 'technological' purpose than what mainstream
scholars are willing to accept?

"I see myself a fairly open-minded
chap, but I will admit that it took me well over a year for the
penny to drop, and for me to realize that we are actually
dealing with the oldest structures ever built by humans on
Earth" said Tellinger

Interestingly, we find that some 250,000
years ago, according to Sitchin,
the ancient Anunnaki merged their Alien genes with that
of Homo Erectus and created a species known as Homo
Sapiens, obtaining as a result, a genetically bicameral species.

However, humans were a hybrid species and could not procreate.

Since the demand for humans as workers became greater, the ancient
Anunnaki once again manipulated ancient mankind so they could
reproduce on their own.

Based on
The Cosmic Code, the
sixth book of The Earth Chronicles by Zecharia Sitchin, this
is the real historical timeline of our planet:

Events Before the Deluge
450,000 years ago,
On Nibiru, a distant member of our
solar system, life faces slow extinction as the planet's
atmosphere erodes. Deposed by Anu, the ruler Alalu escapes in a
spaceship and finds refuge on Earth. He discovers that Earth has
gold that can be used to protect Nibiru's atmosphere.

445,000
Led by Enki, a son of Anu, the Anunnaki land on Earth, establish
Eridu - Earth Station I - for extracting gold from the waters of
the Persian Gulf.

416,000
As gold production falters, Anu arrives on Earth with Enlil, the
heir apparent. It is decided to obtain the vital gold by mining
it in southern Africa. Drawing lots, Enlil wins command of Earth
Mission; Enki is relegated to Africa. On departing Earth, Anu is
challenged by Alalu's grandson.

400,000
Seven functional settlements in southern Mesopotamia include a
Spaceport (Sippar), Mission Control Center (Nippur), a
metallurgical center (Shuruppak). The ores arrive by ships from
Africa; the refined metal is sent aloft to orbiters manned by
the Igigi, then transferred to spaceships arriving periodically
from Nibiru.

380,000
Gaining the support of the Igigi, Alalu's grandson attempts to
seize mastery over Earth. The Enlilites win the War of the Olden
Gods.

300,000
The Anunnaki toiling in the gold mines mutiny. Enki and
Ninhursag create Primitive Workers through genetic manipulation
of Ape woman; they take over the manual chores of the Anunnaki.
Enlil raids the mines, brings the Primitive Workers to the Edin
in Mesopotamia. Given the ability to procreate, Homo Sapiens
begins to multiply.

13,000
Realizing that the passage of Nibiru in Earth's proximity will
trigger an immense tidal wave, Enlil makes the Anunnaki swear to
keep the impending calamity a secret from Mankind.

According to many people around the globe, the Anunnaki are most
definitely the ultimate proof that there are missing links in the
origins of the human species.

I believe that it certainly is very interesting to read about
findings like that of Mr. Tellinger, and other ancient sites around
the globe.

While it remains a great enigma whether
or not the Ancient Anunnaki existed on Earth, and if they intervened
in any way with the evolution of the human species, the truth is
that many ancient civilizations around the globe show what appear to
be links, or clues that possibly indicate a similar
source of their knowledge.
